Summer School 2008

One of my favourite games as a child was a treasure hunt. My dad would draw the clues and i would spend hours running around the house to find the few pennies that were treasure. It seemed the perfect game for the last day of a very successful summer school (Actividad de Vacciones).

A Day in the Life of a jungle Volunteer

I’m coming to the end of my 2 week placement on the Arajuno Road Project and I’m really going to miss it. Bar getting up at 7am, everything about the school day is brilliant. You start the day walking to school through the Amazon, arrive at a school where the kids are lovely and the lessons are creative, and then finish in time for lunch in your wooden jungle home. It’s awesome.

Jungle Trek

Water? check. Mosquito repellent? check. Wellies? check. Woman wielding a machete? check.
So we´re ready to go on our jungle trek.

Our First Evening Class

In my forth week here in the jungle we started evening classes, teaching English to the adults in the community. Well, the classes were for adults but in the first lesson I saw many familiar faces from the school.
